Actran Acoustics is the foundation module of the Actran family. It is both a standalone tool and is a pre-requisite for advanced modules like Actran VibroAcoustics, Actran AeroAcoustics and Actran TM. Some of the robust capabilities of this module include:
-
Simulate standard and convected acoustics
-
Extract acoustic modes
-
Analyse sound field in cavities, with either modal or physical approaches
-
Model absorbing walls using impedance conditions of porous material models
-
Analyse sound radiation
-
Analyse sound propagation in ducts, intake and exhaust lines or distribution systems in buildings, aircrafts, and automobiles
-
Recover vibration results from most FEA structural solvers for radiation analysis
Sample Applications:
-
Sound radiation by vibrating structures: powertrain, engine components (oilpan, intake manifold and air filter, valve cover, etc.), compressors, electrical motors, loudspeakers and more.
-
Intake and exhaust noise, including complex mufflers and silencers.
-
Air conditioning units and distribution systems (calculation of transfer matrices coefficients).
-
Sound absorption inside passenger compartment of cars, trains and aircrafts.
-
Sound propagation in complex media with mean flow or temperature gradient.
-
Audio devices such as telephones, hearing aids or musical instruments.
